[Time to revisit the national education scene with the just published critique Common Core by Nicholas Tampio (review here), and also enjoy the comedy of ‘Doomsday Climate Scenarios Are a Joke’ by Oren Cass (more here).  Of course we can also re-circle the Trump and Stormy imbroglio a few more times.  gjr]

    I’m glad we agree that Saccone made such a desperate comment. Find out soon whether it was a losers howl. Too close to call at this time.

    Why don’t we all wait and see who takes Penn18? If Saccone wins the press will yawn, if Lamb wins the press will be orgasmic. Just an hour to go.
    And maybe my academics aren’t as wonderful as some posting here but hey, I was smart enough to have a business for forty years, hired hundreds of your relatives and never stiffed a local supplier. Ran a few million dollars through the economy and all at my own risk and good name. So in my life, I have a lot to be grateful about and to you pinheads that diss others academic levels, I say go suck an egg. I’ll put my life up againt anyone. America is really a great place.

    You are an idiot. Nobody is trashing T Rex. You guys did plenty of that before he was even nominated. No. We are saying that Trump and Rex are on different wavelengths, particularly when it comes to a huge big honking deal like Iran and that unconstitutional treaty Zerobama threw in Trump’s lap going out the door. Needs 2/3 of the friggin Senate.
    No, it is not ok for Iran to have nuclear misses pointing at us with the ability to hit any city or spot of dirt in the USA. Rex was ok with that, Trump sees things differently. Gotta fly in a tight formation on this one. All on the same page. It’s a very big deal. We already have enough missles pointed at us by the People’s Democratic Republic of Socialist Batshit Crazy Dictators for life.
    It was the W’s guys of the mindset of a Condi Rice and a Colin Powel (not literally, same mindset)….McCain globalist types. And the doves on the Left and even totally delusional Progressives bent his ear. All heck, strike that noise.
    ———Bottomline: T Rex is a globalist at heart. Makes sense considering his vast experience dealing with foreign and sovereign governments as a routine matter of course.
    Here’s your bone, you slobbing ankle gumming toothless dog: The optics were bad. There, all better now? T Rex was almost crying. He never been fired in his whole life and a man of his position never had to take orders from anybody for many moons. It would be preferable to fire the next Cabinet head with a little notification, ok. Next time give the guy a 2 hour head start, ok Mr. President, our President.
    What we are witnessing, gentleman and scumdog, is a very decisive President taking charge. A man of action. Decisive action, no time to waste. As us red neck knuckle draggers would say, “Get ‘er done.”

    Talk about delusional: “What we are witnessing, gentleman and scumdog, is a very decisive President taking charge.”
    Decisive? No tariffs, tariffs, some tariffs. Negotiations with North Korea are a waste of time, oh never mind, we must negotiate. Trump is so friggin’ UNdecisive even his own family doesn’t know what he’ll do, or turn around and undo the next moment. Don’t confuse shooting from the hip with being decisive.

    Does that count the ventures you have quit, stiffing your lenders in the process? How many times have you sued? How about your frequent delinquent tax accounts? Who do you think takes up the slack mister?

    As the left chides the right and given the ever increasing amount of comedic material generated by Der trumpskie, it seems as though the skin of the true trumpeters is beginning to wear thin. Stress causes heart problems especially within the RR demographic. Add some years to your lives, let it go and stop trying to defend the indefensible grifter that occupies the White House, by hook or by crook, as it were.

    Whatz happening? Ok, the truth is out. T Rex went off the deep end. Hate to trash the guy, but he lost his marbles and started believing the Global Warming “Fry Us Like A Frito We Are All Going To Die, The Earth Will Be Thrown Off It’s Axis” and Guam will tip over line. Yep, sad but true. T Rex went insane.
    Any person that believes that crazy stuff needs some rest and convenience for a few months. Guess Washington got to him. I wish him well and a full recovery.

    If Lamb wins running as a moderate republican in this district its a wake up call for Ellison and Pelosi. The libertarian is already saying he is going to be the most hated person in the country tomorrow no matter what happens!
    If you looked at the policies there was one significant policy difference that the Union bosses cared about and made an issue; bailouts for underfunded union pensions by the feds. That may have trumped tariffs.

    I should pull a Paul Emery and state emphatically that “I didn’t vote for Trump” (I didn’t) and therefore can’t be considered a “Trump Gusher”. Nevertheless I’m finding the public displays of idiocy that he routinely generates in both the media and progressive “community” endlessly entertaining!
    Plus he’s picking good judges and he’s not Hillary Clinton!

    I’m thrilled that you are thrilled by the neck and neck race in PA. Trump won there by 20%, personally stumped for Saccone, and out of state Repubs invested nearly 11 million in him. You think a tie is a warning to . . . Pelosi???
